Let’s listen to our students.
I don’t write poems for amusement.
And not to gather together tales and fables
I write to give an example to the young
Whose hearts are sensitive and tongues flexible
These words are available not to the thick-skulled but to seekers.
Song 1: __________
Student: 6
Oh my luckless Kazakh
An unkempt moustache hides your mouth and shin`
Blood on right cheek, fat on your left.
When will the dawn of your reason begin?
Your looks are not bad, your number is vast
Why do you change your favors so fast?
You will never listen to sound advice7
Your tongue in its rashness is unsurpassed.
Student: 7
Intruding on the ear the wonderful song
And the sweet melody captured the soul
Various thought wafted
If you love the song love it like I do
Everything is born from thought
I forget irretrievably
The soul is penetrated by the song
And the heart warms the body
Student: 8
Don’t believe the flatters when they sing our praises
People are perfidious – they lie for nothing
Only your work and intelligence
Protect you from a false opinion of yourself.
Don’t test yourself by being too trust worthy
Don’t get entangled going after fame.
Student: 9
It’s not worthy of you in the heat of deception
To chase after a mirage
If grief comes resist, don’t give up!
If you comes don’t be over joyful
You must simply look deeper into the heart
You will find there the true treasure – don’t lose it.
